Raised panel set for $37

It's a makita set and sells on Amazon for $149. It only had one review on Amazon, but it was a postitive one. For the price, I figured it was worth the chance. Came to $43 and change with shipping. Don't dilly-dally. If you want it, order it cause this place ususally sells out within hours of when they send out their emailed flyer - and I received my flyer at 1:35PM today.
Side note - the electronic receipt says "Strickland Electric & Plumbing Supply" which I looked up and it turns out to be in Marion, NC. Didn't know that.

I'm a little slow at times...like ALL the time! :lol:

Chris, just for a little practice with your moderation skills why not go ahead and merge your thread with the thread here that Brad started.

OK, that threw me for a second. I thought it was going to be all point and click. But I guess copy/pasting the URL isn't that hard....
Thanks DL!

BTW - I emailed this deal to my good friend (best man) in CT. He ordered 3 sets. 1 to use and 2 to sell on Ebay.

I've never used a Makita router bit... how does everybody like these things? What is the quality? How are they rated?

I could only find 1 review (Amazon) and the guy gave it 5 stars:

"Very well made, have to try to burn wood., February 4, 2006

Reviewer:B. Durtschi (USA) - See all my reviews

I ran some pine and some red oak through the bits just to see how they cut with different wood. The edge was as smooth as a babies bottom and feed rates were reasonable. Even when I slowed to a painful crawl, I had no problem with wood burning. They were a great deal (they came with a 3 1/4 hp router). Very happy with them"

I felt it was worth the chance. Interesting that I couldn't find the set on Makita's website. I'm guessing it's discontinued.

Edit: OK found something on that "other" site:
woodnet discussion

Basically, somebody says there's alot of carbide on them and that Amana might make them.

 

[Ray Martin]

Well... I went and did it... soon as I get them and stick them into the router, I'll post a review (sort of)

Just keep an eye out. They run this special on this set about onc a month. I have a set in hand, but haven't used them yet.

I've kept an eye out the past three times they ran the special. More often than not, if you don't place your order within 1 to 2 hours of the bits being available, you won't get them.:roll::crybaby2::lol:

I bought my Milwaukee router from them at a price much lower than I had seen elsewhere. Now I'm on their email list.

If you're interested, go to their site: https://www.heavydutytools.net/Scripts/contactUs.asp
and give them your email address. You'll stand a better chance of getting their specials.

While the photos in D L's and Chris' posts look nice, I think this one looks nicer b/c it's in my shop.:-D (I suspect someone might accuse this of being a GLOAT)
